COMBIATION :BED VAND CHIFFOROBE.

Application ledAugust 21, 1926. 'Serial No. 136,588.

This invention relates to combined foldable bedsteads and wardrobes,such as chiffoniers, chifforobes and the like.

The main object of the invention is to provide a piece of furniture ofthis character adapted to be folded by day and used as a wardrobe and tobe extended by night to be used as a bed, in apartments where the spaceis limited.

Other objects and novel features of construction will become moreapparent as the specification proceeds.

In the drawings forming a part of this specification,

Figure 1 is a side view partly in section of lmy improved and combinedbed and wardrobe, with the bed portion in folded position. n Y Figure 2is a similar view to Figure l,

with the bed portion partly extended, and

Figure 3 is a top plan view partly in section, showing thebed fullyextended.

Referring now to the drawingsl in detail in which like numerals refer tothe same parts throughout the several views, 5 indicates a housing,comprising side walls 6 and 7, a rear wall 8 and a top 9. TWhen the bedis in folded positionv as illustrated in Fig. l, the housing 5 encloseson the sides, rear and top thereof a wardrobe l0 having a chest ofdrawers 11, l2 and 13 slidably mounted therein. It may here be statedthat instead of a chest of drawers, a contain- Yer or wardrobe of anydescription may be substituted therefor.

To the rear wall 8 of the housing 5 there is suitably fastened an angleiron l5 provided with ears or extensions 1G and 17. A similar angle iron18 provided with ears 19 and 2O is secured to the rear wall 2l of thewardrobe l0 at Substantially the same height from the floor as the angleiron 15.

` To each of the ears of these angle irons l5 and 18 there are pivotallysecured two part foldable sections 22 and 28 respectively. The foldablesections 22 and 23 are pivotally secured to a truck or frame workintermediate the walls 8 and 2.

The housing 5 rests upon legs 26 and 27 at the rear and front thereof,while the wardrobe 10 and the truck 25 are ladapted to ride on casters29 and 30 when thebed is being extended.

In order to extend the bed, a handle 32 xed to the wardrobe 10, ispulled forjrardly, causing the said wardrobe to ride out of the housing8 and thus extend the folded section 23 which will in turn when Y fullyextended, draw upon the truck 25 connected to the folded section 22 andcause saine to be extended. i

The'. foldable sections 22 and 23 are provided with snreader bars 34Cand 35 to maintain same in proper lateral position as well as tostrengthen the entire structure. Ganvas sheets or bed springs 36 may beattached to the bed frame by means of coiled springs 37.

It will be seen by referring to Figs. l and 2 of the drawings that ampleroom is provided for the bedding between the foldable sections 22 and23, and the sides of the truck 25.

From the foregoing it will be seen that have provided a combined andextensible bed and wardrobe, easy to manipulate, inexpensive inconstruction, and yet substantially built.

Having described my invention, what I claim as new is:

1. A combined bed and wardrobe, comprising a casing, a wardrobe withinthe cas-` ing adapted to. be withdrawn therefrom, a truck intermediatethe rear walls of the casing and wardrobe, foldable connecting meansintermediate the rear end of the truck and said rear walls and foldableconnecting means; intermediate the front end of the truck and thewardrobe.k
